Administrator’s report for period 10/6/2020 thru 10/19/2020:

 

• Route 93 – Columbia Gas Repair. Columbia Gas has completed their repair in the southbound lane of Route 93, 500 block north, about 9 feet out from the curb.

 

• Fire Station Addition – Progress. Construction is going well. We had a progress meeting on Tuesday October 13th at 9:00 am. The next progress meeting is scheduled for Tuesday October 27^th at 9:00 am.

 

• Fire Station Addition – General Change Orders. At this point we have three (3) “proposed” general change orders.

 

 

• Fire Department Addition – Plumbing & HVAC Change Orders. At this point we do not have any Plumbing or HVAC change orders.

 

We do anticipate a change order to add UV Light “scrubbers” to the new furnaces to address killing viruses such as COVID 19. That cost will come from the Village’s CARES fund allocations.

 

(Note: we have added UV Light “scrubbers” to furnace at the Police Department to kill viruses such as COVID 19, and we are getting prices for other Village facilities as well. Those too have been or will be paid from the Village’s CARES fund allocation.)

 

• Fire Department Addition – Electric Change Orders. At this point we do not have any electric change orders. We do anticipate a change order to adjust/move the electric reels so that they are properly spaced from the new infrared natural gas heating units.

 

• Fire Station Addition – Changes Orders & Overall Budget. So we can step back and take account of where we are and put into an overall perspective of where we stand with the Fire Addition Budget:

 

• Original contracts for General, Electric, and Plumbing/HVAC amounted to $1,479,348.
• General change orders to date (including the proposed listed above) amount to $123,429.92.
• Plumbing/HVAC change orders to date (including the proposed listed above) amount to $3,023.00.
• Electric change orders to date remain at $4,792.50.
• Total cost including change orders to this point brings us to $1,610,584.42. We are 8.9% over the original award.
• A “mitigating” factor is that Council has designated $22,000 +/- from the Triner Estate bequest towards the glass garage doors, which amounted to a $22,311 increase/change order. So, the actual increase from Fire Income Tax is more like $86,000 +/-; or $1,566,000 total +/-; or a 5.9% increase.
• We are backing out the (General and Electric) costs for the hands dryers and paying for those costs out of CARES/COVID Funds, reducing the amount shown out of the Fire Income Tax by $5,790.51 (not yet shown).

 

• Fire Station Addition – Alley Expansion. The widening/expansion of the alley that accesses the south side of the Fire Addition has been completed at the same time the parking lot was paved. It was widened to two (2) lanes for the length of the Sturm lot to better accommodate the new traffic of fire department responding there for emergency calls.

 

The Street Department prepped the area to be widened (dug out 8 inches deep). We also added additional catch basins to hopefully eliminate run-off from the alley reaching Wabash or affecting the Legion Building. The alley and new parking area will have the same surface.

 

• 2020 Paving Program – Follow-Up.  6^th Street SE will require repair to three (3) approaches, as lowering the street for drainage affecting them. Work should begin in the next few weeks.

 

• Jefferson Ave Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. I attended the Pre-Construction Meeting for the Jefferson Ave Sanitary Sewer Project at Stark County Regional Planning Commission on Friday October 16^th. Central Allied Enterprises was awarded the contract in the amount of $776,433. The engineer’s estimate was $964,244.

 

The Stark County CDBG Office issued a Notice to Proceed on Wednesday so construction work can commence. County will be handling all payments until all CDBG Funds are expended, and prevailing wages throughout.

 

We will be reporting CDBG payments to OPWC, and when CDBG Funds run out, submitting payment requests for Central Allied to OPWC directly.

 

CDBG money is first spent, so the amount we will need to draw down on the OPWC Grant and Loan will be less than the full amount we received. So unless there is more than $190,000 in change orders (highly unlikely) the Village will have no money expended for construction.

 

We will be working with Central Allied Enterprises to locate a lay-down area for pipe/materials and potentially a worksite trailer. Central Allied has 300 days to complete the project. However, the construction schedule distributed today shows the majority of sanitary line work, water line installation, and storm sewer work completed by mid-February and the curb and gutter, paving, and restoration starting up in May and completed in May.

• Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI). The AMI Project continues to move forward. Material is being ordered for the project.

 

• OPWC – Round 35 Application for Water Filter Media. The OPWC Application for the Brewster Water Treatment Facility Filter Rehabilitation & Media Replacement Project was due by Noon on October 16^th, 2020. It was turned in on Tuesday October 13^th.

 

As has been done with previous applications, the request is for 49%, which maximizes the points the Village scores in that category. In looking at the District 19 OPWC scoring from last year, the cutoff was at 62 points. Based on how our Jefferson Ave Sanitary Sewer Project scored last year, we are at 59 points without a loan. Where we differ from last year’s Jefferson Ave Sanitary Sewer Project OPWC Application is age & condition (4-6 points less) and initially loan (4 points). By splitting our OPWC funding request into a grant and a loan, we add 4 more additional points to our scoring (similar to what was done with the Jefferson Ave Sanitary Sewer Project last year), bringing our point total to 63 points and hopefully finishing “in the money” IF 62 points is the cutoff again this year. The cutoff differs each year depending on the number of applications and the amount requested for each.

 

The goal is to get the project funded “directly” by District 19. But, if we miss the cutoff, we are likely eligible for the OPWC Small Government Program.

 

• Digger/Derrick Truck Replacement for the Electric Department. The order has been placed for a Digger/Derrick Truckin the amount of $251,459 per ordinance using the Sourcewell Co-operative Purchasing Program.

 

As I indicated, the trade in value for our current Digger/Derrick Truck from Terex is $6,000. It is not high, as the vehicle is 25 years old and cannot be dielectric tested anymore to assure the safety of anyone who uses it. I contacted Beach City, who indicated because the Digger/Derrick Truck will not pass dielectric testing in the near future, they are not interested in purchasing our digger/derrick truck when we replace ours.

• Efficiency Smart – “Buy Local” Program. The “Buy Local” program has been extended from 9/30 to 11/30.  Brochures are available.

 

• Efficiency Smart – Rebates. Heating and cooling make up the largest portion of the average household’s energy bill.

• SCADA – Wastewater Treatment Plant. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system of software and hardware elements that monitors and controls the instrumentation at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. We have been having issues with our SCADA System at the Wastewater Treatment Facility, specifically the new pump station. There have been failures and lapses, somewhere data on performance has had to be restored. So far, we haven’t lost data, but the fear is that that is a function of luck.

 

Some of the issues can be traced to our computers. Both computers are 7 years old and both have not been updated to Windows 10. We are also having a problem with a monitor, and with switches. These are all “hardware” issues. Keep in mind the environment that this hardware is functioning in – we are treating solid waste.

 

Beyond the hardware issues, we also need to upgrade the software that monitors our plant, and sends alerts when there are issues so they can be addressed immediately rather than waiting until we have an incident which we have to report to EPA and/or damage. The software tells the pump (or pumps in high flow) to come on when needed, what speed to run, as well as establishing other parameters. It also tells the valves to open to divert flow if needed. If power fails SCADA alarms let the employees know by text and phone call that the generator is on, so one can come into the plant and reset various items to keep the plant running. SCADA also monitors gas and oxygen levels in the pump station to make the employees aware before entering, so that they do so safely.

 

We approached the company that installed and repairs the SCADA System – Pro-Tech. After some negotiations, the lowest price we received from Pro-Tech was $25,410.00 – see attached. The quotation for the SCADA upgrade includes the 2 new computers, a Synology Backup Storage System, (4) 4 TB External Hard Drives for Storage, 1 year of Screen Connect remote monitoring subscription, and (2) New Ethernet Switches to replace the existing. 

 

We reached out to Seifert, our IT firm, and they indicated they could perform some of the required work. They also opined that the quote from Pro-Tech seemed to be within reasonable parameters.

 

It was(is) the opinion of Wastewater Superintendent Dan Klein that the situation is an emergency, as he relies on the SCADA System. I checked with the Clerk-Treasurer, and she indicated the budget could support the purchase. It wasn’t in the 5-year Capital plan we submitted to Courtney and Associates, but there are costs in the Capital Plan that because of the grants (OPWC & CDBG) we won’t have to make that cover the cost. As it was an emergency, I moved forward with the purchase.

 

• Safe Routes to Schools ODOT Grant. Some good news regarding property appraisals. After some persuading, ODOT provided the Village with a process that Fairless Schools can waive their appraisals and donate their easements for the Safe Routes to Schools Shared Use Path. I have spoken with Superintendent Broc Bidlack, and he indicated that Fairless would waive the appraisals and donate the easements. That saves the Project a considerable amount of money.

 

In addition, in speaking with both O. R. Colan and Smith Advisory, because the remaining easements/takes that are needed for the SRTS SUP are valued less than $10,000, we can do a “Value Analysis” which won’t need a review, as opposed to a more involved appraisal that would be.

 

So, between Fairless waiving appraisals and a second appraisal not being required, the cost for appraisal/negotiation has been reduced from $33,800 to $7,620, a savings of $26,180.

 

There are ongoing discussions going on regarding the final construction cost estimate and funding, which I will update Council on when everything is more certain.

 

• Sanitary Sewer Tap-in Fee Waiver. I am requesting that Council waive the sanitary sewer tap-in fee for the new Fairless Baseball field behind the Elementary School, as the contractor (after consultation with the Wastewater Superintendent) connected directly into an existing manhole, and there was no work required to be done by the Village.

 

In addition, there have been a number of instances this summer where the one size fits all tap-in fees to not work well in staff’s opinion, and I would request a Public Utilities Committee Meeting to discuss what the charges are and a “sliding scale” depending on what is required of the Village employees.

 

• Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting October 15^th to Consider Variance Requests. A meeting of the Brewster Village Zoning Board of Appeals was held Thursday October 15, 2020 at 7:00 pm in Council Chambers at Brewster Village Hall at 302 South Wabash Avenue, Brewster to consider three (3) requests for zoning variances.

 

The first request for a zoning variance(s) is for Parcel 7000428, located at 184 4^th Street SW. The application was filed by the owner Ken Beatty. The B-3 Zoning in which parcel 7000428 establishes that the minimum front yard depth 35 feet, and that a deck or unenclosed porch may project into the front yard for a distance not to exceed ten feet. The requested zoning variance(s) is(are) to allow for an addition to the front of an existing front porch that extends an additional 5 feet to add a wheelchair lift/ramp. It was granted.

The second request for a variance(s) is for Parcel 7000003, located at 254 1st Street SE. The application was filed by the owners Jessica Gram & Zachary Brewer. The B-3 Zoning in which parcel 7000003 establishes that minimum side yard width is 8 feet for a structure and 2 feet for a fence. The requested zoning variance(s) is(are) to allow for construction of a new garage less than 8 feet from the side property line and a fence that may be within 2 feet of the side property line(s). It also was granted.

The third request for a variance(s) is for Parcel 7001458, located at 549/551 Mohican Ave NE. The application was filed by the owners Bryan & Jeanette Treisch. The B-3 Zoning in which parcel 7001458 establishes that minimum side and rear yard width is 8 feet for a structure. The requested zoning variance(s) is(are) to allow for construction of an addition less than 8 feet from the rear (west) property line. It also was granted.

• Stark County Metropolitan Sewer District Sewer Extension. I am coordinating with the Stark County Metropolitan Sewer District to come up with the appropriate language to authorize the Stark County Metropolitan Sewer District to advertise and receive bids concurrent with their bidding out their Project to serve Sugar Creek Twp.’s Justus Avenue and Keller Avenue Areas with sanitary sewer for a Village of Brewster water line extension/loop.

 

• Retaining Wall. The retaining wall at the south side of Village Hall has been completed.

 

The following items were added by the Village Administrator since he emailed his report:

 

• The Jefferson Sanitary Sewer Project is starting to move forward.  The Village received an OUPS notification.
• Massillon Cable TV (MCTV) is putting a fiberoptic cabinet at the old north side Fire Station.

 

The meeting was opened for Council questions for the VA:

• Council Member Schwab asked what was happening with the generator for the Fire Station.  VA Miller stated that was a good question.  It was scheduled to be delivered on October 16^th.  The old generator has been moved and will be hooked up for the Police Department and Street Department eventually.
• Council Member Hilliard stated he felt the Village should help the school with the expenses associated with the improvements for Field #3-Denny Gehring Memorial Field which they intend to use until their field behind the Elementary School is complete.
• Council Member Hilliard asked about the insurance issue for Casey Jewell’s truck that was parked in the street and a tree from the tree lawn fell on it.  Our insurance company denied the claim due to sovereign immunity.  VA Miller is going to work on a policy that would allow Council to consider moral obligations.  Solicitor Anthony warned about setting precedents.
• Council Member Hilliard asked VA Miller to explain the waiver for the school for the sanitary sewer tap fee.  VA Miller stated that essentially the tap fee is a deposit and whatever money the Village doesn’t use will be returned to the school.  The Sewer tap fee is $750.  The school will cut a check to the Village.  In this case the Village has no expenses associated with the hookup because there is already a tap present.  So the Village would then cut the school a check for $750 back.  VA Miller stated if Council waives the fee, this will save the school and the Village Clerk unnecessary work and expense.  VA Miller went on to explain he feels the fee should be reduced to be more customer friendly.  Council Member Mike Schwab stated that the reason the fee was set at that amount was because RCAP had recommended in the rate study.

 

 

Fire Pay = $ 1934.12 for the October 16^TH Payroll.

 

The bids on the Property and Liability Insurance were opened on October 16^th.  There were two bidders.  Wichert Insurance came in at $55,671.  It is a traditional insurance.  USI came in at $55,500.  This is an insurance pool.

 

We currently have received $ 1,157,911.74 in loan proceeds for the Fire Station Expansion.

 

Residents that are arrears on utility bills due to the pandemic can contact the United Way of Greater Stark County for assistance.  Funds have been set aside especially for residents inside the Village limits.  Residents will be able to dial 2-1-1 for assistance.  The requirements are that the hardship is due to the pandemic and that they are 30 days in arrears.  There was a discussion on how to get the word out and donating to the food cupboard. 

 

I received an email from the Ohio Office of Budget and Management that the Village is permitted to recover wage expense for administrative leave of employees to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.  Our first report is due tomorrow.

 

Council Member Hilliard asked about the streetlights from last meeting.  VA Miller stated they were not in yet.

COUNCIL MEMBER SCHWAB MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RADICH and motion carried to schedule a Finance Committee meeting on November 2nd at 6 pm to discuss and provide input for the 2021 Electric, Sewer, and Water utilities Budgets. Discussion: Ask the VA to provide to Council the proposed utility budgets that he submitted to the consultant for the recent consultant’s rate reviews.  The vote: All yes.

 

COUNCIL MEMBER SCHWAB MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FOX and motion carried to waive the sewer tap fee for the new Fairless Baseball Field.  The vote: All yes.

 

Council Member Schwab asked the Mayor if he would like a motion for the Welty Cemetery meeting.  Mayor Hawk stated it would not be necessary.

 

COUNCIL MEMBER SCHWAB MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER HILLIARD and motion carried to approve the purchase of four speakers for the Fire Building Expansion Project at a cost of up to $ 2000 funded by the Fire Income Tax/Fire Project Loan.  The vote: All yes.

 

Council Member Fox asked VA Miller to go into detail on the Stark County Landbank (Side lot application).  VA Miller stated there are 8-10 lots, mostly in the flood plains adjacent to Greg Majors property.  Mr. Majors could acquire the lots and they then generate tax revenue.  Council Member Hilliard stated the taxes have not been paid on some of the lots since 1954.

 

COUNCIL MEMBER FOX MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER READICH and motion carried to approve the side lot application.  The vote: Hess, abstain, Hilliard, yes; Long, yes; Radich, yes, Schwab, yes; Fox, yes.  Motion carried.

 

Council Member Schwab stated since Beach City didn’t want to purchase the old Digger/Derrick truck, did VA Miller need a motion to trade it in.  VA Miller stated the ordinance covered both an outside sale and a trade-in.

 

Council Member Fox requested that VA Miller talk more on the SCADA upgrade.  The SCADA system alerts the departments when there is an issue at the plants.  Right now, we are between a rock and a hard place.  He gave the example of when the new pump station flooded and destroyed a bunch of equipment.  The employees had to sit on the station 24/7.  It is money well spent and within his spending limit. 

 

Council Member Hilliard asked who requested the fence between the house and the fire station on the east side.  It was requested by the owner on bequest of the renter. 

 

COUNCIL MEMBER HILLIARD MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER FOX and motion carried to donate $2,500 to the Fairless Food Cupboard from the General Fund.  The vote: Hess, abstain, Hilliard, yes; Long, yes; Radich, yes, Schwab, yes; Fox, yes.  Motion carried.
